Korgaah is most perturbed at this development...   Korgaah was given a special cloak as a gift for besting his opponents within the Challenge Ring...  he is most displeased he wont be able to wear it...

And What gives with just one ring slot... HI...  TWO HANDS.... Hmmmmm

You also have 8 fingers and two thumbs but we are not going to get 10 ring sockets.... however cool and pimping that would be. I am surprised that it is only one though... two I always figured was the norm.

Yes.. I wasnt asking for a metric buttload of ring slots.. just 2 which is pretty standard faire in the Fantasy action gaming world. And no cloak slot is a real disappointment... not enough to make or break the game obviously... just what this old dwarf is used to...

Now this might sound strange but I am so glad that cloaks didn't make the cut. They typically look absolutely horrific and the NWN2 cloaks still haunt me. Would have liked that second ring slot though.

Cloaks are almost impossible to do right. I don't know what it is, but I've never been happy with how cloaks look in any RPG I've ever played. Now, if I got to have a full-body hooded cloak, that'd be different...

I thought the NWN2 cloaks were pretty fair. Not amazing, but not too bad. I think 2 ring slots and a cloak slot would have been ideal, but eh, what can you do?

I would say 3 ring slots just to spice life up!

I've always detested the two ring limit. I don't mind having a limit to slots that provide combat bonuses, but I've always wanted a whole wack of non combat ring slots so I could just put my rings of lore, diplomacy, lock picking, and other on and forget about them. Micromanaging inventory is the bane of the rpg gaming experience and they never seem to think past conventions. In P&P we never use to say, I'm taking of this ring of diplomacy and putting on my ring of lore. We would just roll the dice and add the bonuses assuming we made any necessary inventory switches. Time for CRPGs to start thinking of new systems to make the gui more relaxed. We'll see if DAO has succeeded in other areas and this area when the game comes out. The game looks good, but the genre as a whole needs a swift kick to make them start thinking of design a little more critically.

There are two rings slots, IIRC, no cloaks due to clipping issues, same thing wiith long hair.

Sorry if you didn't get I was being sarcastic with the 10 ring slots things. I am actually wondering why there wasnt two myself.

If this is true.. why doesnt it appear within the completed character screen inventory? it just shows one ring slot...

I thought the Character Generator was taken right out of the game and is finished totally.

Where are there two rings... look at our character info there is ONE ring and ONE amulet or necklase... they are not the same thing

EDIT: @ Korgaah great minds think alike.

Huh, you're right. Odd, I could have sworn the videos I saw had two Ring slots. Odd.

Hm, I thought.. wait, that icon is for the belt. All this time I thought the round belt icon is the second ring slot. ><

Well, it's a disappointment, I must say.



Mind you, all these mages who keep enchanting items so that you actually have to wear them instead of just having them on your person...sheesh, you'd think they would have learned that you can only put one ring on at a time and instead have found a way to make them active from inventory! XD

On chokes...they look great in the Trailer. ;)

And as for rings this is from Steam's Pre-Purchase Exclusive Item list:

The Memory Band
Made by the Formari, these lyrium-infused rings are supposed to help apprentices retain their lessons. They work rather well -- too well, perhaps, as less capable students sometimes wear three or four per finger.

Im Starting a peaceful demonstration right now.. but it may get violent if our demands are not met~



Demand #1

We Demand an additional ring slot!

Demand #2

Goggles.. because goggles rock

Demand #3

Alcoholism achievement... because getting hammered isnt enough, our drunkenness should be rewarded!



If the community has any further demands/suggestions to add please feel free... Korgaah has spoken.

I agree with the 2 rings thing. 2 ring slots means more bonus powers!



On the other hand, capes & cloaks stink & deserve to be absent. To understand why, watch the movie, The Incredibles.

The Cloak thing was more a personal preference BUT Im strongly in favor of having two rings slots.... it is so peculiar to only implement one... This should be a more important topic...

Yeah second rig slot, but only if it does not break the balance of the game. Ask for 10 rings on Nightmare though....

Some of the videos actually DO show two ring slots... it's just that here it shows one slot. I'd wager that the beta nature of this social site could be the cause for that, and we could actually get two ring slots. Just my 2 cents.

If you watched the GiantBomb video, there are 11 slots (only 9 shown on social site) including 2 ring slots. Besides that extra ring slot, it seems that the arrows slot for archers is not on the social site. Perhaps they're not done updating this site yet?
